As we readjust to a COVID-19 world and prepare to reopen retail environments, the need for new signage will be high and immediate. One major requirement of signage material in a COVID-19 world will be the ability to clean and disinfect easily.

CLEANING & DISINFECTING SINTRASINTRA materials present relatively non-adherent, inert surfaces to soil and bacteria. If needed, a variety of methods for cleaning and disinfecting are available. Most commercially available cleaners and disinfectants can be used; however, please note the following recommendations.

DO NOT USE:• Wire brushes, steel wool, sandpaper, abrasives or other similar cleaning tools which will mechanically abrade the surface • Commercial cleaners/disinfectants which contain abrasive agents or those that contain ketones or aldehydes

COMMON DISINFECTANTS:• Alcohols - Denatured alcohol (ethanol), Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, Methanol (wood alcohol) are acceptable• Dilutions of chlorine bleach (as recommended by the manufacturer) are acceptable

It is recommended practice to first test an inconspicuous area before use on a large scale.

ALL RIGID SUBSTRATES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL.

That’s the philosophy adhered to by employees at Kalamazoo, Mich.-based Agio Imaging, a large-format custom print solution provider, when determining the best rigid substrate for graphic displays. When PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is deemed the best solution for creating interior signage, Agio Imaging turns to SINTRA® graphic display board by 3A Composites USA.

Agio Imaging recently has turned to SINTRA graphic display board to create a wide range of interior wall signage including wayfinding signage, corporate departmental designation wall décor and school educational signage.
